Dear Brother Kendall --Your two letters came early to have. It was my desire to have an ? contemplated trip today I had my horse saddled our all things in readiness, but my little daughter (Emma) has the lung fever an is too much unwell to allow us to leave. I shall defer my journey a few days.

  Your Explanation concerning my desire to have my child Board with you was quite sufficient and satisfactory.   

Whether my wife will be willing to let her go to Mrs. Boothe's to Board With a large company of young Ladies I cannot tell--She will probably be down to take my place at the time of the duration, am making arrangements, and in the mean time help some of you enter upon the old people's ?and if she is pleased with such Matches (there must be no Lucifer) as you make will probably give you a hearty Welcome to the new scene of duties and trials. You did not answer my inquiries whether any arrangements would be made for young Ladies to Upon their Expenses as well as young men by Boarding by themselves several of them--Please write me at once under that head--- You ask what there is in store for the school? I have been discouraged a great many times and now I take courage once more for I see the friend so called doing what they should have done at the very outset, I hope to collect Enough for the Phil. Aparatus immediately I am in haste & paternally
